Zoho Corporation offers more than 55 cloud-based and mobile apps in nearly every major business category. The company protects the privacy of its users by never showing ads inside its products, never selling user information to third parties, and prohibiting third-party trackers from operating on Zoho websites. Earlier this year, Zoho launched a web browser built to additionally shield users.

Called Ulaa, the browser is designed to help users protect their personal information and internet activity. It comes equipped with features that allow for privacy customization, built-in browser modes, and integrated productivity tools while keeping user data safe and private. Users can also sync browsing sessions between devices, either an entire browser window or a singular tab, allowing them to use multiple devices for the same browsing session seamlessly.

"Not many browsers on the market today are built to protect user privacy," according to Raju Vegesna, Zoho's Chief Evangelist. "With Ulaa, users don't have to compromise their privacy to browse the web, which unfortunately has become a surveillance minefield."

The new browser excels in three areas: privacy, modes, and productivity. In terms of privacy, Ulaa does not track or share user data with any third parties. DNS prefetching is prohibited, so data cannot be cached; motion sensors that track mouse movement and clicks are also blocked. The browser blocks unwanted ads, notifications, and pop-ups as well as prevents the tracking of user data by websites and third-party trackers.

Typically, browser IDs can be used to track users even after they have signed out of a browser but Ulaa has a multi-ID model, which is frequently refreshed. That makes it impossible to correlate a signed-in user to a browsing session and adds an extra layer of protection from tracking software. Users can enable browser ID auto-reset on every startup for further protection. In addition to privacy customizations, anonymized user data and stats, geographical data isolation, end-to-end encryption, and privacy reports, Ulaa disables the API that allows websites to connect and communicate with devices connected to a computer's network.

Users can toggle between five unique modes that are completely isolated from other modes, which offers protected browsing experiences. Dynamic Mode Switching enables users to ask Ulaa to open and remember which websites belong in certain modes. The next time the user visits that website, Ulaa will automatically prompt to open the site in pre-selected mode. Additional modes include Personal Mode, Work Mode, Kids Mode, and Open Season Mode, which comes with absolutely no privacy restrictions.

Ulaa comes with several productivity features, including tabs management options to view all open tabs in one place to be grouped and organized. Users can easily switch between tabs, close tabs that are no longer needed, or move tabs to a different mode or a new window. The browser also includes integrated apps that boost productivity, including Zia Search for existing Zoho users and Zoho Notebook, a dedicated note-taking space that works across all tabs, so a user can easily jot down ideas, reminders, or important information without leaving their browsing session. 

All Chrome browser extensions are compatible with Ulaa, and can be directly installed from the Chrome Webstore, according to officials. Ulaa is available at no charge for Android, iOS, Linux, Macintosh, and Windows operating systems. Zoho opened its Hacienda office in June 2013. The privately held company has more than 12,000 employees and 90 million users around the world.
